    "Batman: The Killing Joke" will be an animated movie.

    If I had to pick a favorite Batman book, it would be Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth, hands down. Would work best as an animated film too. Looking forward to this one!

    archived-videos The Magic Circle

    I am very sad that this was the last episode (at least for the foreseeable future) because I absolutely loved this. I understand troubles coordinating everything, and it's sad that you aren't getting the views that this deserves. Great stuff! Looking forward to seeing what you do next!

    music How Do You Find Composers?

    Coming at it from the other side, I have been hired as a composer by friends, by friends of friends through recommendations, by submitting my reel and/or demoing a scene for a project I thought looked interesting, hanging a flyer in the local film school, being asked by posting right here on...

    Why do people like concerts?

    I couldn't even count how many shows I've been to (played over 100, but probably not much more. We'll see how the new project goes). I go because I like to dance. I go because I like to hear music played live. I go because I like music more than anything else in the world. I don't really like...

    Dated premise

    That's what I would say. Let's take the novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson (one of my favorites). All the forward thinking views of the internet are fanciful and not exactly how things worked as technology developed. But given when it was written, it's forgivable and not really all that...

    Dated premise

    Sure can! A modern film that hinges on disproven theories. The "humans only use a percentage of their brain" thing comes to mind. It has long since been proven incorrect...yet a blockbuster was just based on it, with a squirrel planned. The director even stated, if I recall, that he knew it was...

    Retro 'puter games

    The archive internet arcade is a wonderful thing. These days, I find I'm playing more retro games than new games (NES Zeldas are almost meditation devices for me!) I've also grabbed a few of those plug-in, pre-loaded retro consoles. My favorite is the Intellivision one...

    Don't be dumb-dumbs, WB.

    I did the same...watched Deadpool over and over and OVER. Waited for Suicide Squad...because I'm excited and have been waiting for Deadpool for years, whereas even after the trailer I still don't care much about Suicide Squad. The point being, if I'm really excited, sure, I'll watch grainy...

    Christopher Lee RIP

    So what I've been working on for the past month is a cover of Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead" in honor of Sir Christopher Lee. You can hear it here: https://doorsinthelabyrinth.bandcamp.com/album/christopher-lee-is-dead in both the full 9:28 version (like the original song) or a shorter radio...

    archived-videos Doors In The Labyrinth - Excision (augmented lyric video)

    thanks, as always, for listening and for the feedback, richy! I am proud of the lyrics I've been writing lately, and realize there's a bit of disconnect between how I want to deliver them and people being able to understand them! Glad it's working, and I'll continue playing with variations on...

    Christopher Lee RIP

    RIP. One of my favorites. 93 and still working hard! Couldn't pick a favorite role, but The Wicker Man and The Last Unicorn both hold a special place in my heart.

    Thanks, Stuart! Glad you liked the music! The new season of the show starts on 6/21, I'm very much looking forward to it!

    archived-videos Doors In The Labyrinth - Excision (augmented lyric video)

    As a musician, youtube is a good source of discovery for your work. You want to be able to be found and shared, even if it is work-in-progress. However, as a musician, that means I'm crap for visuals. Most people opt for an album cover, or a lyric crawl, or a slideshow of pictures. I could...

    "in charge of the dragons" is the best job description ever!

    Claymation Sketches - Together or Individual?

    This is extremely relevant to my interests and I'm very excited to see what you come up with! I'm not an expert, but it is my understanding that one of the best ways to keep an audience engaged is regular updates, it might be good to do the shorter videos and post them once a week. Get...

    What Are You Reading?

    Read House of Leaves next. It's awesome and complicated, and hits a lot of cosmic horror notes in a Lovecraft/Ligotti sort of way. And I definitely do recommend finishing Dune, because the post-Frank books make EVERYTHING make sense, and there's a bit WTF moment at the end of Chapterhouse that...

    Jared Leto's Joker

    My first thought was that he looks like Keith Flint, singer for The Prodigy. Then the full cast shot came out and Harley looks like one of the Spice Girls. Urgh. I'm not sure I really care about this one. I liked the Nolan Batman movies a lot, but can't sit through a Superman film to save my...
